The fifth episode of the evening of Amici 24 aired on Saturday, April 19, 2025, on Canale 5, marking a pivotal moment in the popular talent show hosted by Maria De Filippi. This episode was notable for its high-stakes eliminations and standout performances, as the competition intensifies among the remaining contestants.
In a dramatic twist, the episode featured a double elimination, sending shockwaves through the studio. Francesca, a talented ballerina, and Senza Cri, a promising singer, both faced the harsh reality of leaving the competition. The atmosphere was thick with emotion as each contestant prepared for their final performances.
Francesca's journey came to an unexpected end during a duel against Nicolò. After a challenging face-off, it was Francesca who had to bid farewell to the school. "You are pure emotion, I am happy and proud to have guided you this far, you are a fantastic dancer, don’t let this get you down," her teacher Deborah Lettieri expressed, highlighting Francesca's remarkable talent. Francesca, visibly emotional, reflected, "I cannot help but be happy for this journey, and it will continue to be wonderful outside of here." In a bittersweet moment, she was offered a contract with the Budapest dance company and an opportunity with Monica Casadei of Artemis Danza, indicating a bright future despite her elimination.
The second elimination was equally poignant. Senza Cri faced off against TrigNO in a nail-biting final challenge. After both contestants performed the songs that had initially brought them into the competition, it was Senza Cri who had to leave. "I am scared to return to my life," she admitted, sharing her fears of disappointment and insecurity. "I’m sorry that I only showed fragility, but if I’m not meant to be here, I will prove myself outside." Maria De Filippi reassured her, saying, "What you found inside remains with you." Despite her exit, Senza Cri vowed, "I will not give up; I will build my world," leaving viewers with a sense of hope for her future.
As the eliminations unfolded, the remaining contestants showcased their talents in various performances. The judging panel, composed of Amadeus, Cristiano Malgioglio, and Elena D'Amario, provided feedback on the contestants' progress. Alessia emerged as a standout performer, receiving a score of 9 for her powerful Paso Doble and captivating presence on stage. "If there were a storm and Alessia danced, the sun would come out," Malgioglio praised, underscoring her impact on the audience.
In contrast, Nicolò struggled during his performance of "Sinceramente" by Annalisa, receiving a disappointing score of 4. His vocal execution did not meet the expectations set by his previous performances, prompting Malgioglio to express disappointment, stating, "This performance did not please me." Nicolò later redeemed himself slightly during a duet with TrigNO, but the overall impression was that he needed to regain his footing in the competition.
TrigNO, however, continued to impress, earning a score of 9 for his charismatic performances, which included renditions of "Iris" and "Angel." His ability to engage the audience and judges alike solidified his place as a frontrunner in the competition. "TrigNO is the true revelation of this edition of Amici," one critic noted, recognizing his growth throughout the season.
Francesca’s exit was met with mixed emotions as she had been a beloved contestant. Her performance against Chiara, where she received a score of 7, highlighted her potential, but ultimately, it was not enough to secure her a place in the next round. Chiara, on the other hand, shone brightly, earning an 8 for her elegant performance, which showcased her growth and talent.
The episode also included a special musical guest, Giordana Angi, who performed her new single, though her performance received criticism, scoring only 4. Viewers noted a lack of substance in her lyrics, leading to a less favorable reception.
As the episode concluded, the stakes were higher than ever, with only eight contestants remaining in the competition. The energy in the studio was palpable, with each performance drawing cheers and applause from the audience. The judges’ scores reflected the intensity of the competition, with Alessia, TrigNO, and Chiara emerging as the top performers of the night.
Overall, the fifth episode of Amici 24 not only showcased the talents of the contestants but also highlighted the emotional journeys they are undertaking. With the eliminations, the competition is becoming fiercer, and the remaining contestants must continue to push their limits to secure a place in the finale. The mix of talent, emotion, and high stakes promises to keep audiences engaged as the season progresses.
As the show moves forward, fans are left wondering who will rise to the occasion and who will falter under pressure. With each passing week, the excitement builds, making Amici a must-watch for talent show enthusiasts.
